Insider Knowledge

Pro Tips for Amalfi

Prioritise Amalfi Cathedral early in the day before crowds build.

Pair Positano with nearby food stops instead of crossing the city repeatedly.

Check weekly closures and festival dates before locking the itinerary.

Carry a light layer, sun protection, and water; Indian travel days often run longer than expected.

Book peak-season accommodation ahead, especially around long weekends and school holidays.
